Qualitative and quantitative data collected by the See, Treat, Prevent Skin Sores and Scabies (\u2018SToP\u2019) Trial at 10 timepoints between May 2019 and December 2022 were analysed to understand head lice rates and community perspectives.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Across the Kimberley over the course of the study, the mean head lice prevalence was 48.4% (SD 15.3).

Head lice was mentioned in 42 yarning sessions with community members and service providers. Community voice reflected repeated head lice infestation to be detrimental to the physical and psychological well\u2010being of children. Much of the discussion focussed on prevention of secondary bacterial infections and improving the quality and maintenance of housing to provide for healthy practices to reduce the rates of head lice.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In remote\u2010residing Australian Aboriginal children, there is a high burden of head lice.
